# The Heights by Louise Candlish (Paperback)

**There is nothing as powerful as a mother's love. But how far will Ellen go to protect her son?**  
  
From the _Sunday Times_ bestselling author of _The Other Passenger_ and _Our House_ - now a major ITV series - comes a nail-biting story about a mother's obsession with revenge.  
  
**'I didn't read _The Heights_, I inhaled it'** LISA JEWELL  
  
Ellen Saint is just your average mum. Devoted to her family, she's no different from any other mother who wants the best for her kids. But when her teenage son Lucas brings a new friend home, cracks start to appear in Ellen's perfect family life.  
Kieran Watts isn't like Lucas. He's rude, obnoxious and reckless, and Ellen can only watch in despair as her son falls deeper under his influence.  
Then Ellen's whole world implodes and she embarks on an obsessive need to get revenge.  
  
**There is nothing you won't do for your children - even murder . . .**

**'Tense, provocative and devastatingly powerful'** TM LOGAN  
  
**'There's nothing quite so chilling as the roar of mother tiger love. Louise Candlish had my heart in my throat. Dizzily dark. Dangerous. Deadly'** JANE CORRY  
  
**'_The Heights_ has everything you could possibly wish for - tragedy, obsession, revenge and, yes, love. Another finely-crafted masterpiece from Louise Candlish'** BA PARIS
